1:17It's time to overcome your fear of messing up and get your taxes done right. Start filing today in the Credit Karma app. Over the weekend, Mr. Chris Jackson at the Hurrayath in exile sub-stack broke the story. Well, late last week it was part of the group that broke the story that that Pope Leo had been involved in a pacamama ritual by the admission of the Augustinians in an officially published Augustinian book. The story was broken by life site backed up by NovaSwordaWatch independently of life site news and then Mr. Jackson published more details. Over the weekend, he had a follow-up and it's a details of what can only be described as a pacamama creed, the full text of which he published. Now, when you look at the creed that they have, it becomes pretty apparent that this creed is almost reduces God

2:17to symbolic entity and its real focus is liberation. When Pope Leo was first made Pope, one of the things people asked was, well, he might be an American from Chicago, but he spent 20 years or more in Peru to the point where he became a citizen of Peru and has identified as Peruvian, which is why it's a little odd that people keep talking about him as an American, but he identified as a Peruvian and in South America, this is a little problem called liberation theology, and the response from the usual suspects is, well, he was never involved in liberation theology. He always kept it as an arm's distance away all the rest of it. But when you look at this pacamama creed, it's a liberation theology creed and it's materialistic in its origin, and in fact, the use of the pacamama, the demon idol from the Andes, has been adopted by many secular activist groups, including the United Nations, for all things are related

3:21to the environment, and it's always presented in the language of liberation theology. That's the untold part of the story, really. It's not just the scandalous nature of the satanic creed you're about to see, but more broadly, this is liberation theology, condemned by the Vatican officially condemned, and essentially, it's the ideology of the world, of the rulers of this world, those who wish to see the church subservient to the UN and other groups for promoting all their various wild programs, including the elevation of the environment as something that is so important that we have to dismantle human civilization for it, and I have stories on that for you to go with this today that come from the Vatican. But let's go here first to hooray at the next aisle. The headline prevosts Augustinian creed, we believe in God, mother of life.

4:23Yeah, that's pretty bad by itself. He starts out with some stuff on a story that I'll cover later in the week about a women's ordination. I'm going here under the Konakoto was the Augustinian workshop for this new religion. It's a picture of a prevost from the 90s, early 2000s. From the article, Konakoto was a 1993 gathering of Augustinians in Ecuador under the umbrella of the organization of Augustinians in Latin America or OALA. It was presented as a moment of renewal for the order in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its organizers spoke of the spirit of Konakoto as a new model of Augustinian life marked by participation, synodality, liberationist concerns, and social transformation. So let's just pause here. This is an official organization of Augustinians meeting to discuss secularism and putting a Catholic face to secularism. I mean, participation,

5:31whatever, synodality. Well, I mean, they don't use the word synodality when you go further into this, but you will see that it's all the nuts and bolts of synodality. They just didn't have the word yet because Francis hadn't made it up yet. Liberationist concerns and boy, howdy, are they there? And social transformation. We can't have liberationist concerns without social transformation. And the authentically Catholic social transformation, because it is completely right and just for you as a Catholic, to work towards a transformation of society. There's only one way to do that, and that is through spreading the gospel so that you can do what the Lord commanded the apostles to do. To baptize all nations, the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them all that he taught the apostles. In other words, teaching them the faith, restoring Christendom, which by the way, Pope Leo recently said was not his job to restore Christendom. Wild stuff to hear from him, but that is the true social transformation. Because if you

6:31help you do your part to spread the gospel and bring souls to Christ, if everybody did that, society would transform. Because when if the country in the Western world were majority Catholic and majority Christian, guess what would happen? You'd restore Christendom. If people actually practice the faith and voted along and keeping with their faith and all the rest of it, you would have a new Christendom. That would be a social transformation. That's the only way you can do it. Through a voluntary conversion to the faith, to the faith of virtually everybody, or at least the majority of people. Back to this. In plain English, it was one of those post-conciliar workshops where Catholic language remained on the surface, while the underlying framework shifted toward process, activism, and ideological reconstruction. The photos from Catholic Conclaves show this was not some obscure footnote or one-off experiment. The movement generated texts, slogans, follow-up meetings, and even its own creed. The first two images match an official OALA anniversary document

7:33marking 30 years since Conocoto, meaning they celebrated it in 2023. Begin to understand this is relevant. This is not just 30 years ago now. The Augustinians, at the time when Prevost was the head of the Augustinian Order and Prefect for the Dekastery of Bishops, published something celebrating this event 30 years later. The document describes in 1993 meeting a shape by Augustinian Synodality and says the spirit of Conocoto was a spirit of reflection, conversion, reconciliation, prophecy, communion, and participation. Then it reproduces the young Augustinians creed, including the astonishing line we believe in God, Father, and Mother of Life. This is the document published in 2023. It's a little blurry on your screen here, but don't worry, I'll put the links in the show notes today at the Anthony Stein sub-stacks so you can read this document for yourself. But it goes over here, talking about the 1993 meeting,

8:36because this was published 30 years later, you know, just a couple of years ago. I'm going to recite to you now, not as a matter of faith, but as a matter of just reporting and education, what this Augustinian creed believes or teaches. We believe in God, Father, and Mother of Life, who reveals himself in our people. We believe in Jesus, our brother, who is embodied in the yearning for liberation and resurrection of our people. That right there is your liberation theology language the first time. We believe in the Holy Spirit, animates and guides the search of a renewed and freed humanity. We believe in the men and women who struggle to regain their dignity and survive in a situation of hunger, misery, and death. We believe in the church, embodied in the life and world of our poor and believing people. We believe in the communal ideal of Augustin of Hippo, our inspiration. We believe in the path our order has traveled throughout history with its

9:37successes and failures, with the aim of being faithful to the will of God. We believe in the attempt to revitalize the order in Latin America. We believe in the active and transformative participation of our communities in society, in the image of the Trinity, dialogical, reciprocal, fraternal, and in solidarity. There's your language of synodality right there. We believe in a culture-rated formation and cultureation as we take, essentially pagan practices and shoehorn them into the Catholic faith, that rescues and values marginalized cultures. There's a Marxist language and emphasizes the community spirit as a primary value of our spirituality. We believe in the preferential option for the poor, which we, as an order, assumed at the intermediate chapter in Mexico. There's their creed. Not a lot of talk there of salvation. Compare that to the Apostles creed, and I see in creed, and I see in Constantinople creed, or the Athanasius

10:37creed, and this doesn't sound much like the Catholicism, but it is a liberation theology creed. Mr. Jackson goes on, and the creed does not stop there. He goes on with formulas about Jesus incarnating himself in the liberation longings of peoples, the church embodied in the life and world of the poor, active and transformative participation in society, and the priority of human promotion. One does not need much commentary at that point. The text is already doing the work. This is a window into the theological atmosphere in which this network was being formed. And then the document there. The objective of the Konakoto meeting in 1993 was to begin a process of revitalizing the order on the continent, starting with a broad reflection on the reality and challenges facing Augustinian religious life at that time, following the fourth general conference of the Latin American Piscopit, Held and Santo Domingo. The very beginning of the meeting, Bishop Nicolas Castellanos,

11:42OSA, compared the gathering to a new Pentecost for the Order of Saint Augustin. And from this arose an expression that would become the identity of this movement of renewal and revitalization, Spirit of Konakoto. Above all, the meeting was an opportunity to recover the strength of the Charism, spirituality and prophetic spirit, as well as to bring Augustinians who were very isolated in their realities, countries and circumscriptions. We see here is the language that we have seen used over and over again at Vatican II. In the aftermath of Vatican II, that essentially the Catholic Church had lost a lot since Trent, probably because of Trent, when they never quite go at that explicit about it. But that it was a new Pentecost, which is honestly blasphemous to say, we don't need a new Pentecost, we never need a new Pentecost. The Holy Spirit pouring forth his gifts to the Apostles, which were then passed down to their successors through the Apostolic succession was all you needed. We had a new Pentecost that would

12:43revitalize these aging orders, or in this case, more broadly the Church. It's amazing stuff. Nor was this some embarrassing leaflet later shoved into a drawer and forgotten. OALA, that's the Augustinian orders group in South America, their current material still reflect the same ecosystem of themes. Its justice and peace page continues to foreground ecotheology, indigenous spirituality, political activism, and Amazonian rhetoric. The vocabulary is aged a little, but the instinct has not. It is still the same post-conciliar habit of translating the faith into process, activism, ecology, migration, dialogue, and social accompaniment until dogma itself begins to sound like an intrusive foreign body. The third image is especially important because it localizes story and ties Roberto Provo's directly to that orbit. The clipping on

13:43Integrado El Perú, Augustino speaks of the spirit of Conocoto entering Peru, and the highlighted name identifies Prevost of Julius Conas within that milieu. That turns the whole debate away from the lazy defense that Leo's later synodal instincts are merely the normal prudence of a churchman formed by generic post-conciliar Catholicism. No, the attached material places him inside a very specific formation stream. One that had already been baptized in idality, liberationist language, anthropological uplift, and ecotheological imagination, long before those slogans were packaged for the universal church. There's a Spanish language article, there's Prevost right there, on my screen, he's pretty clearly Prevost. And then again, there's the original picture that caused the stir last week. That is why the later evidence feels less like a surprise in a continuation. National Catholic reporter writing sympathetically last year described to the Conas as the Vatican II laboratory of church renewal. They begin to see how this all ties

14:48together with Francis. South America was where Vatican II as his framing of it was, was tested. It might be why he chose Prevost specifically to be his head of his dicastery for bishops, the men who hand-picked the men who would become bishops for him. Because he was from Chula Conas before he was one of the bishops of Brazil, the Vatican II laboratory of church renewal, and presented that history almost as a badge of honor. Read against those South American Augustine materials, it lands very differently. The men now trying to stabilize the revolution are the very men whom the revolution formed. Conacodo was not some distant Latin American curiosity. It was part of the workshop in which this new ecclesial language, this new set of instincts, and this new model of authority were cultivated. That is why these photos matter. They do not merely embarrass Leo XIV by association, they help explain him. The newly circulated Brazil photographs

15:57fit that larger pattern. Public reporting this week says they come from the proceedings of a 1995 Augustinean symposium in Sao Paulo later published by that organization. In 1996, as ecotelogia uniperspective desade san augustin, or ecotheology from the perspective of saint augustin. Independent recent reporting from confessional outlets say the published caption identifies one ceremony as a rite of pacamama and a liberate library by bibliography confirms that the 1996 OALA volume exists. Corresponds to that 1995 symposium, meaning the book that showed the 1995 symposium's pictures of prevost not only sitting at the table but also getting down on his knees and venerating with fame were published in a 1996 book that detailed the 1995 event. That included illustrations. Thus the documentary frame itself is real and the attached conocoto material already shows the theological world in which such a rite would not appear as an alien invasion but as an organic

16:59outgrowth and that is the key point. The scandal is larger than one photograph, larger even than one act of kneeling or one disputed gesture. A creed that calls god father and mother of life, an ecclesiology that treats the church as the historical embodiment of a people's struggle. An augustinian apostolate steeped in Median participation and ecotheology, a synodal bureaucracy now describing the question of women as a sign of the times. A Belgian bishop openly preparing married priests as a matter of diocesan planning. This is one continuum. The language changes, the substance does not. That is the key point. These are the men who are now not only solidifying the revolution of the 1960s in the church after kind of a struggle with John Paul II and Benedict XVI to find a essentially a middle path between the pre-concilured church and the post-concilured church but they are now solidifying the revolution and then moving it forward.

17:59And there's a question here that I have seen asked over the weekend a lot. Myself and others were accused of focusing on the wrong thing. We were told that we should be focusing on Israel and our lords so-called ethnic kinsmen and their role in modern politics and all the rest. The church's answer to this is very simple. The woes of the world reflect the woes of the church. The state of the world reflects the state of the church. All the wickedness in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics to paraphrase, believe it was Pope St. Pius the 10th. It is the state of the church that matters first and foremost.

Because the church wants its houses in order, or even when it's just on well on its way to being in order, will start to have a massive impact on the world. Through witness and through the spread of the gospel and, of course, coherent theology and sacramental discipline and all the rest of it, the church matters more than anything else. Anything else. Because if you focus first on the world,

20:07whether it's the war of the moment or all these other social issues and the alleged role that people will argue once I do the other about that one little strip of land that everybody fights over in the holy land, if you focus on that first, you are essentially doing like liberation theology but from the political right. It's all you're doing. You're still focusing on the material first. The church is the most important thing. That's why it has to be got taken care of first and foremost. And the most important way you can do that is through prayer and fasting. The entire point of bringing you these depressing stories every day is to give you something to pray for, to give you something to fast for, as well as to warn people about the errors that you could fall into by following these these pied pipers off the cliff. The church is the most important thing. Always has been. The most important event in human history was the incarnation and resurrection of our Lord. Top two. More important than the founding of my own country, which I loved dearly. More

21:12important than any conflict going on in the world. More important than when they inevitably try to fool you that a that beings from from Mars or whatever are going to show up in some dazzling light show over the night skies. More important than any of those things. More important than even the coming of the man of sin. You want to fix the world, fix the church. Do so according to your station in life. The conservative defensive Leo keeps collapsing because it keeps misdiagnosing the problem. It imagines a basically Catholic institution that occasionally overreaches, phrases things badly, appoints the wrong men or indulges bad optics. That framework is far too small. What sits before us is a rival theology of authority in that theology revelation yields to process hierarchy yields to participation, sacramental form yields to representation and doctrine yields to manage adaptation under the flattering title of listening. If you watch my vegano letters thing on Sunday morning,

22:17if you haven't yet go ahead and watch it's worth your time, vegano tried to get meetings of Pope Leo. God actually scheduled with him multiple times and they were canceled every single time and he finally reached out to somebody that had been a colleague of his, a Cardinal Ray in the Holy Sea when he was working in the in the Secretary of State's office as papalmencio. That's where the papalmencio's all they all kind of congregate. That's where they work out of. Cardinal Ray finally told him that we have a duty to obey the Holy Father even if the Holy Father is disobeying God. Otter madness. But it's reflected there in this new theology of theirs. He had to obey God first. Now in normal sane circumstances the Pope should mostly be obeying God to the point where this kind of work would be unnecessary. Right? But that's not where we are. If you don't believe me it's a related story. We have, we have a story today about the manifestation of this

23:24ecotheology that's gripping the church now. The Francis issued a document 10 years ago called Ladato Sea. It's a papal encyclical that likes to frame itself as a continuation and development of Catholic social teaching. That body of work formalized and formally started in the Leo the 13th more than a century and a half ago now. But really developing but a little bit before that really formalized under Leo the 13th on the church answering questions of economics and politics and things. Not with direct answers to things that would be directly going on at the time, but more like principles about the larger problems so that the teachings become timeless. The church's answer to socialism is written in the 1870s and 1880s still is as important then as it is now and as well as on a libertarian capitalism and Marxism and all the rest of it because they don't just become locked into time and therein lies the problem. See Francis issued a document called Ladato Sea which is about care for our common home. The thermometer problem which are not

24:28allowed to criticize on any social media platform. And it was so tied to the things going on that it's already dated. But in that document Francis called explicitly for greater power for the UN to regulate these things and have real power to do it. He issued a SQL document Ladato Dam and in 2025 the church celebrated the 10th anniversary of Ladato Sea. It was clearly trying to make this as important of a document as Leo the 13th Raram Novaram which was the document began the formalization process for Catholic social teaching. And as part of that we get this story from Reuters and remember one of the basic rules I try at a hammer home. When the secular media starts reporting on activities of the church you should be paying attention. Headlined from Reuters Vatican launches project encouraging disinvestment from the mining sector. That's interesting. They want them out of the mining sector. And not just Vatican itself. Wouldn't care if the Vatican

25:31said hey we shouldn't be involved in this. Encouraging broad disinvestment meaning they basically want mining to end. Think about that and the consequences of that. Take all the time you need. It would be catastrophic. Now one of the arguments for doing so is that mining is a very dirty process, it destroys ecosystems and all the rest of the stuff. Sort of true. Modern mining practices are much cleaner than they used to be. Now they're not adopted in a lot of countries because a lot of countries have extremely corrupt governments. So instead a good alternative strategy. We've the Vatican to launch a process calling for these more corrupt places to adopt cleaner mining standards or peoples livelihoods and ways of life of indigenous peoples and just poor peoples in general aren't negatively impacted by essential industries like mining. Mining has been going on since antiquity. And now this disinvestment is crazy talk. Vatican on Friday launched an international

26:34project encouraging disinvestment from this mining sector and unusual initiative by the Catholic Churches steer investments away from a specific industry. Officials said the new initiative backed by senior church leaders and about 40 other faith based institutions would push companies to treat their workers justly and protect the local environment near their operations or risk loss of investments. Detecting the environment is fine. We are called to be stewards of the environment. We're not called to be making idle out of creation. In many regions the world the expansion of the mining industry has generated profound social tensions and serious environmental impacts. Garden of Fabio Bajillo of Vatican officials said at a press conference. He called the new effort an active consistency with our faith and the defense of human dignity. But Francis who passed away last year made many passionate appeals during his 12-year tenure for mining companies to adopt more stringent business practices. But the Vatican had not previously launched a disinvestment initiative. It did however urge Catholics in 2020 to disinvest from armaments and fossil fuel industries. Now that all sounds fine I suppose except you put it in light and

27:42whether you're reporting that I've been doing recently on Pope Leo's direct involvement in liberation theology it begins to make a lot more sense. This is a materialist policy that they've got and maybe you're not sold on mining. They're taken on mining being bad but what I'm about to show you is utter madness because at the same time is that story go to complicit clergy. Under this headline bishops of the global south want to ban fossil fuels. Look if you want to make the plight of the poor infinitely worse ban fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are the only thing keeping the lights on in those places. It's the only thing allowing food to be transported and grown in large numbers. A lot of fertilizers are made with fossil fuels. I would love there to be an alternative available and I fully support research and development into such alternatives,

28:43ones that are cleaner, ones that don't leave trace toxins in the air and all the rest of it and if it's true that they have the actual effect on the environment that they claim to have especially on temperatures fine. But we're not there yet. The bishops of the global south should know that even in the western countries and northern countries the Marxists like to divide the world into north and south on economics. Well in the north there have been a lot of attempts to implement a clean green energies. Well guess what the infrastructure is not there. Germany is now lamenting that they got rid of their nuclear power plants but they also say they can't go back because they're so tied to the ideology. What they're talking about doing here is returning returning man to essential what they think is the stone age. It's this would have catastrophic effects for poor peoples everywhere because of the course they'll be the first to bear the

29:44brunt of the actual chaos and outcomes of this. Remember they preach about the preferential option for the poor. Well the preferential option for the poor would be to keep the fossil fuel system in place. Maybe control the industries more. Have a good conversation about that. But this would have such catastrophic consequences for poor people but then again this is what happens when you get bishops talking about things they don't know the first thing about. Catholic bishops from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean along with others from Europe and Oceana issued a manifesto this week urging world governments to abandon the use of fossil fuels because of record worldwide temperatures that they say has increased the suffering of the poor. Catholic economists disagree with this assessment however. No kidding. The document titled Manifesto of the Churches of the Global South are common home. Remember La Dato Si, care for our common home, was guided by Pope Francis's La Dato Si and La Dette Dayum according to the bishops who write that the alleged problem of changing temperatures as a result

30:47of the burning of fossil fuels is a consequence of unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and an economy that kills. The world according to bishops again quoting Francis is crumbling and perhaps reach approaching a breaking point. Catherine Pocoluch an economist at the Catholic University of America told EWTN News that this type of sky is falling language does not reflect reality. And quote, no kidding it doesn't reflect reality. But those bishops are totally engaging in the Konakoto process as I covered that I covered earlier. You know the whole dialogue and listening and liberation and ecology all that. This is how all these stories covered recently connect together. And bishops out there talking about stuff that they have no idea what they're talking about promoting a new theology and a new false gospel of materialism and salvation by making a better world but the better world today promote isn't even wouldn't even be a better world anyway. It's

31:51to be one that is more suffering. It's all that would do and not and this isn't suffering for the sake of souls suffering for the sake of egos. Southern lady says that is so ridiculous to rid the world of fossil fuels. This contributes to little pollution overall. Yeah you want an environmental problem you can really tackle that has that would meaningfully that would have meaningful impact on poor peoples and peoples everywhere and something we could do something about plastics in the ocean are a very real problem. Plastics in the water are a very real problem something like 99% of human beings.

35:03and that if the church didn't adopt women's ordination we would be left behind left behind from what I don't know what they mean by left behind the Catholic Church is the only one that really matters on these things and there is no scriptural basis by Francis's own admission for the ordination of women to the episcopate and the priesthood and the deaconate and yet they keep pushing reported recently to you that the synodon synodality one of their working groups issued a document saying the question remains open Francis said that unfortunately because there was an end game here to find to figure out a way to get to ordination they can't do it through historical basis and they can't do it through theology but they're going to find a way because maybe somebody else can come up with a good excuse and the bishops of Germany among others have really been pushing unbelievably so to get told each dot de this amazing headline the women's question those who come

36:08too late are punished other signs of the times the bishops of Germany recognize that the churches in crisis how could they not there was a report recently that in Germany last year they lost half a million Catholics they walked away half a million in one year so of course they recognize as a crisis how could they possibly not but they called a sign of the time so we're being punished essentially maybe by by God maybe their believers in the universe punishing people we're being punished somehow because we're not retaining women look at that headline again the women's question those who come too late are punished by the signs of the times it almost sounds like God is punishing us for not doing what the church never did before details from the article well many women in Germany by the way catolish dot de is the official news arm for the German

37:12bishops so this is them endorsing this position this is their official position what many women in Germany have long felt they now have in black and white from the Vatican female believers often no longer feel at home in the church because they are not given sufficient participation and are considering leaving apparently and this is hardly surprising this is a global phenomenon nevertheless it is remarkable how clearly they're up the report published on Tuesday by the working groups spun off from the world's Senate formulate certain points the resolution of the women's question in the church is urgent at states but once again the question arises how does a church at different speeds deal with this finding there's talk of a sign of the times through which the Holy Spirit speaks and of a church that must decide whether it allows societal change to happen to it or whether it wants to act proactively in order to change itself a Catholic version of he who comes too late is punished by life after all debates about equality have been going on in society in the church for decades unfortunately the report leaves much open to question nevertheless it

38:12is a sign that the church as a whole is finally realizing that those who ignore the issue of women in positions of responsibility risk losing credibility in proclaiming the gospel and losing vitality the risk losing credibility if we don't ordain women why because for them the gospel is about liberation creating a better society and equality liberation theology top to bottom in the church curing theme a lot lately on this channel isn't it of course a simple step would be to visibly increase the number of women in certain positions or offices wherever appropriate structures exist at all levels this would also include adapting structures where they currently hinder women what spaces exist for their voices where they ignored how can we convince bishops who still fail to recognize the urgent need for action the document makes it clear that it is time to take Catholic women seriously in their vocations everywhere in the world note the assumption here the document

39:13makes it clear that it is high time to take Catholic women seriously in their vocations everywhere in the world once upon a time the church only spoke about vocations in terms of being a priest or religious life married starting to talk about as a vocation in more recent years i'm not going to engage in the debate of whether marriages of vocation or not and in the last few years you've started hearing a vocation of the single life which is definitely a modern novelty but if talking about vocations they mean consecrated women sure but they're not doing that here we're not taking women seriously in their vocations seriously if we're not having the conversation about ordaining them this is the German bishops saying this whether the measures just listed will be enough for many women to feel more at home in the church again however remains to be seen the text speaks of taking different language or different cultural context into account the question of ordination will certainly not be quieted in some regions after

40:13this publication at the very least the deaconate for women must be made possible written by someone calling themselves Mateus Altman on the official German news site for the German bishops and I pose these kind of articles they are endorsing the thesis remember who gets excommunicated in the church these days those who want the church to do what it's always done it act like the institution that our ancestors knew as the Catholic church and to promote a faith and liturgy that our ancestors would have recognized as Catholic that's who gets excommunicated people who write that kind of trash the bishops who openly are calling for this who reject the churches of sacramental authority because what they're doing is rejecting the magisterial and sacramental authority of the Catholic church why to make a more just world one where peoples who have been oppressed are liberated in this case oppressed by the church that is their central claim the spotless bride of Christ

41:20apparently guided by the Holy Spirit in all truth or in due God himself is guilty of oppressing the ladies if that contradiction makes any sense to you please explain it to me because I can't figure it out but that's the German bishops for you let me know what you think about that in the comments please hit like and subscribe if you have not it does help sharing this on social media helps a lot too if you ever thought about supporting the work we do here at return to tradition there are options in the description box below monster energy everybody knows white monster zero ultra that's the OG it kicked off this whole zero sugar energy drink thing but ultra is a whole lineup now you've got strawberry dreams blue Hawaiian sunrise in vice guava and they all bring the monster energy punch so if you've been living in the white can branch out ultra has got a flavor for every vibe and every single one is zero sugar tap the banner to learn more you know patreon subscribe star that subscribe plus button is the old joint button
